Simple Living

Simple Living is all about having the best life you can no matter where you live or your situation. In our married life so far we’ve made the most of living in a rental, in an apartment, in a camper, and finally in a place of our own. Little House Living is all about being organized, happy, and settled in your own homestead, no matter if it’s rural or urban! Check out all these links to learn more about what the simple life really is about.

Hi Merissa I just read your adoption story. We also adopted and our son was taken back by his biological mother for 6 weeks. Neglect led to his developing meningitis and the miracle of being returned to us. We also have our share of physical issues and I know the anguish you have been through.

Read your story and its very inspiring. I have always said that my GrandMother lives within me, as I am the only one in my family that tries to live the homesteaders lifestyle. I have been canning, gardening, trying to make items out of what we have, raising bees, animals, etc. Trying to live as “natural” as possible, and now more that ever.
Our daughter was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Nov. 25, 2011. One year and 4 days later (Nov. 29, 2012) she relapsed. She was sent to Duke Children’s on Jan. 14, 2013 for a double stem cell transplant which she received on April 1, 2013 after being there for 357 days we arrived back home on Jan. 5, 2014.
This is why I want to be at least 75% sustainable by growing/raising our veggies and meat. I only purchase unbleached flour/cornmeals. We use raw sugar. You get the point. We are doing our best at trying to get as natural as possible. Away from plastics that hold our foods, away from GMOs (as our heirloom seeds arrived yesterday).
With all that said, thank you for thriving to be an inspiration in other peoples live, as you have also inspired me. Many blessings to you and your precious family.

Hi! I’m so excited to have found this site through Pinterest. I’m recently diagnosed with several autoimmune disorders and am considering applying for disability. I quit a full time job due to my health issues and currently clean and cook for people in their homes as a way of bringing in money to help my hard working husband with the household bills and now, the medical bills. We are falling behind.
I am a country girl too being raised part time on my grandmother’s farm and once owning a rural home of my own. Circumstance has put me back in town, but I am lucky to have a little land here. I have chickens and a sizable vegetable garden. I can from my garden and make most foods from scratch.
I hope to learn even more frugal living ideas from Merrisa! Looking forward to perusing through all of the information here.

Lovely Website. I just read your article about Facebook and I can relate in so many ways. I find social media extremely addictive. I binged watch YouTube videos in the past, whenever I was bored. Now I am doing something more meaningful, more productive with my time. 🙂
